The h-super connectivity κh and the h-super edge-connectivity λh are more refined network reliability indices than the connectivity and the edge-connectivity. This paper shows that for a connected balanced digraph D and its line digraph L, if D is optimally super edge-connected, then κ1(L) = 2λ1(D), and that for a connected graph G and its line graph L, if one of κ1(L) and λ2(G) exists, then κ1...

Let H be a graph with a designated vertex s, where edges are weighted by nonnegative reals. Splitting edges e = {u, s} and e′ = {s, v} at s is an operation that reduces the weight of each of e and e′ by a real δ > 0 while increasing the weight of edge {u, v} by δ. It is known that all edges incident to s can be split off while preserving the edge-connectivity of H and that such a complete split...

For a connected graphG= (V ,E), an edge set S ⊂ E is a k-restricted-edge-cut, ifG−S is disconnected and every component of G− S has at least k vertices. The k-restricted-edge-connectivity of G, denoted by k(G), is defined as the cardinality of a minimum k-restricted-edge-cut. The k-isoperimetric-edge-connectivity is defined as k(G)=min{|[U,U ]| : U ⊂ V, |U | k, |U | k}, where [U,U ] is the set ...

Hershberger, J., M. Rauch and S. Suri, Data structures for two-edge connectivity in planar graphs, Theoretical Computer Science 130 (1994) 139-161. We present a data structure for maintaining 2-edge connectivity information dynamically in an embedded planar graph. The data structure requires linear storage and preprocessing time for its construction, supports online updates (deletion of an edge...

Background: Tinnitus known as a central nervous system disorder is correlated with specific oscillatory activities within auditory and non-auditory brain areas. Several studies in the past few years have revealed that in the most tinnitus cases, the response pattern of neurons in auditory system is changed due to auditory deafferentation, which leads to variation and disruption of the brain net...

An edge cut of a connected graph is 4-restricted if it disconnects this graph with each component having order at least four. The size of minimum 4-restricted edge cuts of graph G is called its 4-restricted edge connectivity and is denoted by 4(G). Let 4(G)=min{ (F ) : F is a connected vertex-induced subgraph of order four of graph G}, where (F ) denotes the number of edges of graph G with exac...

Let G = (V + s,E) be a graph and let S = (d1, ..., dp) be a set of positive integers with ∑ dj = d(s). An S-detachment splits s into a set of p independent vertices s1, ..., sp with d(sj) = dj , 1 ≤ j ≤ p. Given a requirement function r(u, v) on pairs of vertices of V , an S-detachment is called r-admissible if the detached graph G satisfies λG′(x, y) ≥ r(x, y) for every pair x, y ∈ V . Here λH...

The connectivity and edge of interconnection network determine the fault tolerance network. An is usually viewed as a connected graph, where vertex corresponds processor link between two distinct processors. Given graph G with set V(G) E(G), if for any vertices u,v∈V(G), there exist min{dG(u),dG(v)} edge-disjoint paths u v, then strongly Menger connected. Let m be an integer m≥1. If G−Fe remain...

Let G (V, E) be an undirected multigraph, where V and E are a set of vertices and a set of edges, respectively. Let k and l be fixed nonnegative integers. This paper considers location problems of finding a minimum-size vertex-subset S V such that for each vertex x V the vertex-connectivity between S and x is greater than or equal to k and the edge-connectivity between S and x is greater than o...

Given a hypergraph, a partition of its vertex set and an integer k, find a minimum number of graph edges to be added between different members of the partition in order to make the hypergraph k-edge-connected. This problem is a common generalization of the following two problems: edge-connectivity augmentation of graphs with partition constraints (J. Bang-Jensen, H. Gabow, T. Jordán, Z. Szigeti...
